I've Been There (with Tim Mensy)

By the time I noticed her

She was smilin' at me

From where I stood

The mutual attraction was easy to see

Ten beers and 20 passes later

The bar tender said it was time to go

I was outta money, she stood and said

"Honey, I'm a-going home on my own"

Oh, I've been there, listen buddy, I've been there

I've been there when I thought I was livin' a dream

And woke up in a real nightmare

Yessum, I've been there, let me tell you I've been there

Anywhere a woman can leave you, man, I've been there

My baby said, "Honey, you need a break

Why don't you take a little fishin' trip?"

I loaded my old truck and as I drove away

She waved and kinda blew me a kiss

A couple days later when I got home

Was nothing left but a note on the door

It said, "I had to leave you

I need a man who'll stay home a little more"

Let me tell you, I've been there, hey buddy, I've been there

I've been there when I thought I was livin' a dream

And woke up in a real nightmare

Oh, I've been there, I'm here to tell you, I've been there

'Bout anywhere a woman can leave you, man, I've been there

'Bout anywhere a woman can leave you, son, I've been there

Oh, I've been there

I've been there too, son, let me tell ya

I know what it's all about
